Don't have much to say about this. Kind of personal work.

I really like this! :D Emotion is a hard thing to inject in work, but I think you did really well on that aspect here.The feeling of simple release and freedom seems to be what speaks to me. The sky's texture seems to emanate the unpredictability about things happening but the breadth of opportunities still open to us all through the white sun and the subtle colors peeking through the upper air. This is getting too philosophical, but art was never real scientific anyway. lol 

If I could suggest a few things to enhance this, it would just be the tired rehash of finding references to draw stuff off of. If you are drawing textures, particularly of rocks and sky/clouds like here, there's no reason not to give it a quick google if you know what I mean, and then look at some pictures of rocks or whatever and figure out what settings on brushes and in what way you can replicate the textures. Usually its a fairly simple thought process that will lead you to results. For instance, if I searched up "canyon" and got this on Google: images.boomsbeat.com/data/imag… I could look at the rocks and basically say safely that they look to be (the rock cliffs I mean) basically horizontal stacked strips of rock with vertical indentations. The indents have some variation in width and shape, but they generally are in the same direction. And the rocks have around 3 basic colors, a slightly unsaturated bright slightly orange red, black, and brown. So how to do it? I would probably just get a round brush, block in the shape of the entire rocks real quick with red. Then decide a light source. (top right, top left, etc.) Then draw some horizontal lines to break up the rocks into layers. Clean up and blend the horizontal lines so they are a little less rough, and then take a black brush and go in to mark vertical indentations. Use brown to indicate lightsource and clean up/polish. You know the drill. But anyway, applying texture can be as simple as that.

That probably didn't help lol, but its just something we all could benefit from. Texture is kind of difficult sometimes, or I myself can get lazy and basically wing it, which never works out exceptionally well. xD But anyway, we all have to learn to draw rocks sometime, I guess. :iconrockplz: xD
